Came here on a hot sunny day and it did not disappoint. I sat outside and was promptly seated. The waiter was super nice. I asked for a cocktail menu and it turns out they do not serve cocktails. They only have soft drinks and a very small selection of wine and Japanese beers. I decided to go with a specialty roll and did not get any appetizers. I waited for almost 40 minutes before my food came out. The Coke Zero that I had gotten when I first got there was near warm by the time I got my meal. It didn't seem like they were too busy, but there was another table that was ordering quite a bit of sushi platters so maybe that's what created the delay. I was done with my one roll in about five minutes, lol The sushi roll was so good! I can't remember what it was called but I loved how fresh and flavorful it was! As I sat roasting in the hot sun waiting for the waiter to come back the busser took my plate and I asked if I could get the check as well. It took several minutes before the waiter came out and when he did he thought I still had not gotten my food. I had to ask again for my check which took several more minutes. The waiter gave me several recommendations for places to visit for food, drinks, activities etc and was great to talk to. Although he was gone a lot, he was doing his best waiting on customers both inside and outside. I would definitely come back.

This was the first good sushi I have had in San Antonio. Recommend for a good date night vibe! The service was good and the food excellent.

Probably one of the BEST sushi places that I have ever been to and we eat a lot of sushi ...great place ...def going back

Second time visiting for family birthday dinner! We ordered the Shirashi dish which is combination and several fresh fish - really great. My favorite is still the seafood gyoza and shishito peppers but can't go wrong with anything since their ingredients are so fresh, always quality taste.

This may just be the BEST sushi restaurant I've been to in my LIFE! My husband and I ate here last night to jointly celebrate my belated birthday, an overdue date night, and his BOLC graduation. The place is beautiful with a lovely patio, and overlooks the River Walk. It also has a parking garage conveniently located in the same building two doors down. The staff was incredibly warm. Our waitress, Lizzie was extremely attentive and knowledgeable about the menu items. Her recommendations were solid, starting with the Cono del Sur ...sauvingon blanc (I believe). Everything we ordered was delicious! We started the seafood dumplings and demolished them before I could think to snap a picture. Each of the pictured items had high quality ingredients, exquisite textures and complex flavors. We ordered the Crispy Toro along with 3 special rolls: Fresh Start, Lobster Robbery, and Garlic Princess. Our favorite was the Fresh Start roll, followed by the 2. Crispy Toro (not much food but worth it), 3. Lobster Robbery, and 4. Garlic Princess. Do NOT miss this gem on the north end of the River Walk!

Probably one of the best sushi places in San Antonio. You'll pay a pretty penny but it's worth it. Service is always wonderful, knowledgeable and helpful. It's a small cozy restaurant with an outdoor patio overlooking the Riverwalk. If you've never tried it I'd definitely come here. I'd recommend it to a friend or for a date.

Growing up with authentic Japanese food, this is one of my top off places that nail the authenticity in San Antonio. If you're wanting a more upscale vibe, Shiro is your place! Their menu sometimes rotates a bit so be sure to follow them on their social medias to stay in the loop on their seasonal offerings. I love the natural light in Shiro and how bright and joyful the staff is. You always receive a warm welcome when you walk into Shiro. I personally enjoy the loop of the projector screen of various clips from Japanese pop culture, from music videos to commercials. You can choose to sit indoors, out on the scenic patio overlooking the famous Riverwalk, or at the sushi bar for a more casual setting. My favorite dish at Shio is the Bara Chirashi. This one is for all of the raw sushi fans out there. The assortment is diverse and fresh, from octopus and ikura, to salmon and yellowtail, you will not find better quality sushi anywhere else in the region. Even the rice is cooked so well and is tasty. If you're not into raw sushi, Shiro offers traditional Japanese dishes with subtle modern twists like teriyaki and soba as well as rolls that have cooked elements to them. I also thoroughly enjoy the Japanese beverage offerings at Shiro. While they sell out quickly when it's in stock, I cannot gatekeep the Kyoto White Yuzu Ale. It is from a craft brewery in Japan and has a crisp, light flavor with hints of yuzu lemon that is perfect for our hot and humid Texas weather. They also have a great selection of sake as well. If you don't know where to go or what to choose, whether it be food or beverage, the staff is so helpful! Shiro is amazing and is a place we find ourselves frequently. This is a great choice for celebrations or showing the city of San Antonio to out of town friends!

Came here for an anniversary dinner. We ate at the sushi bar. Restaurant is kind of small but perfect date night environment. They have happy hour until 6 PM. We got there right at the cusp. House sake is only $10. The rising shrimp, crispy spicy tuna and nachos were amazing. The nacho had grilled ono with a mango salsa and sweet potato trips. It was a ratatouille of flavor with umami, smokiness, and sweetness. Crispy tuna just melted in your mouth although it is fried. Rising shrimp was also delicious. For dinner we just ordered more rolls to include summer snow, spicy aguri and toshi+Shiro. The aguri was a little fishy for my liking. The summer snow was my favorite. Came with a ponzu sauce, had all the seafood (crab, tuna, salmon) and had some jalapeno that gave it a kick. The toshi+Shiro was similar to a rainbow roll with tuna at the center but also topped with ebi, salmon and more tuna. Our waitress was Lizzie. She was super attentive and checked in on us very often. She made sure we got all our happy hour items in before 6. She was phenomenal.

Hands down best sushi I've had; ever. We're big sushi and nigiri lovers and have found Shiro to be outstanding. It gives Uchi in Austin a run for its money. Shiro is a small restaurant and highly busy. You can expect a bit slower service but the food quality is amazing. Bring layers, it can be a bit chilly inside. We're already planning our next trip to Shiro. Highly recommended!
